There were areas that were not flooded. A few key improvements could have mitigated a lot of the damage. Not sure why or if the city has internal pumps to remove water but that could have helped. Of course it would need its own power source.
This city is an import and export point for a large percent of our goods and services. Add in the oil refineries etc and we have to have something there. I think it will be smaller and more expensive. The lowest level was displaced as we saw on TV and very few contractors will build slums as the first step. This leaves a nice middle and upper class city filled with tourists and new construction. Sounds pretty attractive from that stand point.
